Wartile receives a major update

Since the Launch of Wartile back in February, we have continued to work on Wartile with the intention to improve specific areas of the game and today we are finally ready to release a significant update to Wartile.

The free update, which has been in the works under the codename “True Viking Edition” improves WARTILE in countless ways, most importantly redefining the whole story of the game. The complete story was rewritten and is now supported by cutscenes and a famous narrator George Blagden, known for playing Athelstan in the award-winning TV Show Vikings.

Key gameplay features have also been reworked to make the game more accessible and with the intention to apply a deeper tactical aspect to the game.

Campaign

New story

We are excited to introduce a whole new story for Wartile now narrated by George Blagden who did an awesome job of bringing the new story alive.

Game Play Changes

Movement overhaul

We changed the movement system to provide a more consistent experience. If your figurine is on a movement cooldown, you can queue its move, and it will move once the cooldown is done. Besides, figurines can now move through friendly figurines. This ensures a much more smooth experience both during and out of combat.

New Encounter system

Our new encounter system is a new interesting way of presenting enemies on the battle board. Instead of a dynamic AI that moves around the board as you play, we have combined the enemy encounters into small static parties that becomes alive when you enter their encounter zones as you explore the board.

Figurine Ability Warning system

Abilities are now visually shown in the UI with an icon and a “casting time” when used.

Abilities can have “casting time” allowing to react and break the casting time

Casting time has been added to the majority of enemy abilities (to give counterplay options)
